Trump Indicted. Again.

A pardons panel, who are selected by the governor, then decide whether to grant a pardon for the crime.

When are are GOP going to drop this guy. It is destroying the party and his supporters are just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. It still going down.

I do wonder if Greg will hear about it since it is in his home state. I guess in Georgia at least the prosecutor alleges a conspiracy. We know he likes conspiracies. This was all brought to distract from Hunter and Joe Biden, right?

Here's what trump has to say:
"Too bad Georgia has such a strict law regarding pardons."

And you left out one small detail: Fani Willis' office has a NINETY PERCENT conviction rate...

Oh, and about that judge assigned to the case:

"Scott McAfee became a Fulton County Superior Court judge in February after a career in which he has worked as a prosecutor and state inspector general, where he was “responsible for investigating allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse in the Executive Branch of state government.”
"When he was appointed inspector general in March 2021, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, called him a “strong addition to my administration.”
“His experience as a tough prosecutor equips him to search out fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption, and bring those to justice who break the law,” Kemp said."

In other words, he's one tough mother------.

William Barr On The Trump Indictment

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Former Attorney General Bill Barr called arguments being made by Republicans attempting to compare former President Trump’s handling of classified documents to previous presidents “big lies.”

"Barr was asked by “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream to respond to comparisons of Trump leaving the White House with classified documents to former Presidents Clinton and Obama, and President Biden when he was vice president."

"Barr said that the difference is that other presidents worked with the National Archives to store those documents, unlike Trump who faces obstruction of justice charges over trying to keep from handing the records back over to the federal government.

“So, there are two big lies, I think, that are out there right now,” Barr said. “One is all these other presidents took all these documents. Those were situations where they arranged with the archives to set up special space under the management, control, and security provided by the archivists to temporarily put documents until the libraries were ready. These were not people just putting them in their basement, OK.”

"The second lie, according to Barr, is the notion that a president has “complete authority” to declare any document “personal.”

Jonathan Turley On The Trump Indictment

"Fox News’s Turley: Trump could face ‘terminal sentence’ if DOJ proves even one count"
“The problem is, he’s got to run the table — he’s 76 years old,” Turley, a former opinion contributor for The Hill, said of Trump during an appearance on Fox News. “All the government has to do is stick the landing on one count, and he could have a terminal sentence. You’re talking about crimes that have a 10- or 20-year period as a maximum.”
"Turley said the evidence laid out against Trump in the indictment revealed last week is “quite strong.”

Yeah Brian, shame on you for calling for calling the Trump residence a swamp motel. Hurling insults is beyond the pale. Just look no further than the AM or Mr Trump for examples of how to do better...

Yup, those grand juries handing down those indictments are just doing everything they can not to get Trump re-elected, huh? Could it be they've actually done their jobs, looked at the evidence, listened to the witnesses, Trump loyalists among those, who testified under oath and then rendered their decision on the indictments? 
That said, when you've got the likes of Jonathan Turley telling you Trump is in trouble, it's should be obvious that even he can't spin the avalanche of of evidence in the indictments...

Darn, is that considered a name call? You know how he doesn't like that.

Oh darn, again, now Rich is in my head. Oh, woe is me. Greg will now call me out on it.  Here's a LOL <snort> for Greg and a tongue for Richard (as he so does love his emojis).  
I was wondering if he was a contributing writer for Jesse Waters's story on Faux that Biden was "installed" by the FBI...
